Currently 'interested' in Psychiatry ..Is having her 1st week in Psychiatry round ..'Enjoying' lectures, even no guarantee she'll understood 'em well enuf .. --"

OK .. My group went to the outpatient department yesterday and came this one patient ,alone .....

Male [ i didn't record his name ]58 years oldA driverWas referred from radiology departmentComplaints :

He thought that there's one Mr President of nowhere come to ask him to work as a police , and felt that was an absurd idea [how come a driver can be a police?] ,with an offer for 2 million dolars! [wuhuuu!] .... and claimed that many people tried to assault him.. with an attempt to 'stalk' him by putting something like small camera / laser in her stomach to control him.. to kill him!

He married twice , and claimed that his wives were unfaithful .

Macam kelaka . [ups]

But this is the reality in psychiatric patients.They can be anything!That's why in medicine, only in Psychiatry .. we can freely admit patients according to Mental Health Act because they could be dangerous to people .

Doctor claimed, till now doctors conditionally have to try to convince..Especially to the family , that the patient is actually suffering from mental illness .Mental illnesses = gila ?I see this as a challenge for doctors , they have to put their situations into patient's belief..Camne tu??

Superstition VS Reality testingThat happened in this field ,Certain populations in this world have their own beliefs towards superstition.And what people in the hospital do is,Find an appropriate way to make them understand..

Early morning @ 6.30am , she went out from her house..Takbir Raya in Egyptian version ,heard everywhere ..It was a calm , 'honk'less morning ..On her way to Dewan PCM for solat, she saw .....

big cow's waiting ... hehe

She performed Solat sunat Aidil-Adha together with other hundreds of girls..Only Imam, Khatib and few guys accompanied were also there to guide the ceremony..

Alhamdulillah after finish, around 8.30am, she went to the area where the slaughter take place .. BUT

Crowded with people! --"

"The sacrificial camels We have made for you as among the symbols from Allah: in them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for sacrifice) ....

... :when they are down on their sides (after slaughter) , eat you thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, such as beg with due humility :thus have We made animals subject to you, that you may be grateful" (22:36)

Mentor ?is..an experienced person who advises and helps somebody with less experience over a period of time

If we say mentor here in Mansurah, are those seniors who are appointed by Unit Pembangunan Insan to help our freshman. We're divided in certain groups and 1 group comprises less than 10 students , and guided by 1 or 2 mentors.

It is not an easy task, indeed. They (Mentor) have to be highly confident, proactive, social skills ok , knowledgeable and 'eveready' . To build a great and superb human being , you yourself has to good enough to be a role model.According to the guidelines given, the full criteria are:

When I was in my 2nd year (3 years back then) , without knowing the actual tasks of Mentor , i was appointed. My reaction : 'Damn' (teenage rebellion) .. but i accepted it . didn't know why, maybe for experimental purpose.

Why 'Damn'? 2nd year, little experiences involved in this things , plus when reflecting myself to the aforementioned criteria , i think im out of line. That's it!In fact, i'd think many other hidden mentor outside deserve this job. I didn't do this amanah very well, it suck me in! Had that feeling of guilt actually, but .... hmm, i didn't try to improve the situation, but i'd say, i escaped from the problem. By not doing the job.

3rd year, was appointed again. Was shocked, but i think im the person who dont know how to say NO. Experimental year again. Indeed, tried to find methods to develop the confidence. I'd see this as a challenge , ain't easy . Tell ya. still lack of the skill how to share what i have with others. sigh .

4th year , accepted again . Again & again . Haha . This time, i'd say, it's different . Because Unit Pembangunan Insan become more established and well-organized. Mentors are given a file, containing the guidelines and all 'substances' that we need to understand by ourself and give something out. Bak kata Saiful Islam 'Erti Hidup Pada Memberi'. As grows older, by implementing 'Erti Hidup Pada Memberi' , i feel life is a Bliss .

During today's briefing, i heard 'eveready' word . Mentor has to be 'eveready'. It's like a doctor who has to be 'eveready' in all conditions [macam 'On-Call' for doctors]. Maybe this would be the good platform to get ready for future undertaking, eh.

In a word , to be a great person , don't be afraid. "Great work are done by people who are not afraid to be great" . It needs time, experiences , always be open to criticism , always pray, hope for getting better & better ,even sometimes , feel to shut yourself off from these things and lock yourself. Pergh.. preaching.

No fascinating insights into life of being a mentor, but trust me , you'll feel the bliss and pleasurable moment if it comes with keikhlasan .

As time goes byIt ain't enoughAin't enoughTo admit that i am now very close to the endNot good enough to say that i'm done with analyzingSometimes feel to sneak up the stairs and look downFeel to go up to the outer spaceFly freely within the skyTo be escapism isn't the wayYet 'Dare to Fail' comes into my mind

Just try to imagine , when a 'foreign' structure come n interrupt this tiny ,cute gland?This foreigner brings a disruptive influence on our body by secreting more n more unnecessary amount of hormones.. and then the female patient came to our doctor and complained.

When our Dr Hatem took out the MRI , these were the things we found :

(The yellow circles show the port where the foreigner take place)- not the actual pictures , but more / less the same

(This is the normal MRI we should have)

So, the approaches to this problem?? Would be surgery ... Transphenoidally / Subfrontally intervention ...
